On slackware 12 the lilo boot line
boot = /dev/hda idebus=66
works
but on slackware current I get:
unrecognized token "idebus" at of above line 5...

I have tried various alternatives like spaces around the = enclosing
the string in double quotes etc. Same or similar message every time.

My elderly moherboard has two ide ports capable of 66Mhz and on slack
12 that is what the two disks run at.

What happens if you try booting without it?

append = "\
idebus=66 \
"
OR

man lilo.conf; KERNEL OPTIONS; addappend
